Resist the urge to tease a relative or neighbor who has been getting on your nerves. Maintaining a civil relationship is more important than expressing your frustration over behavior that only bothers you once in a while.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

You will have to spend money to make money. You don’t like to feel your nest egg is diminishing, it makes you feel insecure to dip into a savings account, but it can’t be helped. You must have the right equipment to do a good job. A solitary retreat will be spiritually rewarding.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

Don’t pick a fight with an authority figure. It would be a shame to damage your career prospects just to prove a point. Finances could be tight right now. You’ll feel less anxious if you have a cash cushion in the bank. Attending a big party could be lots more fun than you think.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

You’ll feel able to exercise your authority more easily than you have in the past. People who once discounted your knowledge will treat you with respect. They realize that your assessment of a troubling situation was right on target. It feels wonderful to be vindicated.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

Working with a large group won’t bring out the best in you. You’re tired of being forced to dumb down ideas for the duller members of the group. Solitary pursuits will be more rewarding. If you’re planning on a career change, keep your plans secret. The element of surprise will work in your favor.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

It may be time to find a job where your talent is appreciated, instead of treated like a threat. Beware of taking out your frustrations on a friend or relative. When you feel your temper starting to rise, channel it into a creative project. Getting a massage or spa treatment could be helpful, too.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

This isn’t a good time to get embroiled in a legal controversy. Do everything in your power to steer clear of legal or official disputes, as you don’t have the time or energy to waste on them. You may be given some serious responsibilities at work. If you do a good job, you could be offered a promotion.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

Money matters are putting pressure on a close relationship. You need to strike a better balance between domestic spending and saving. Work on your trust issues. Money that was owed to you a long time ago could finally arrive in your bank account. Use this wee windfall to launch a project that is close to your heart.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Power struggles with a business or romantic partner could break out. You’re afraid of giving up your independence. Having money of your own makes you feel secure. Unfortunately, you sometimes get annoyed when your partner spends or hoards their own cash. Having three bank accounts (yours, mine and ours) may be the way to avoid these minefields.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Communicating with a colleague could get on your nerves. You should find an outlet for this frustration. Exercise might help. Take time out of your busy schedule to move your body. A home improvement project will be creatively fulfilling. Be gracious about accepting a partner’s heartfelt praise.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Don’t be pressured into buying expensive gifts. If you want to improve a relationship, spend more quality time together. That will make a big difference toward understanding and appreciating one another. You may be handed new responsibilities that were taken away from you. It’s good to feel valued, even if the recognition is late in coming.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Your home life is disruptive, making it difficult to think, plan and make decisions. It may be time to find a better living situation. Developing a project that is close to your heart can be a welcome distraction from domestic matters. If you play your cards right, you could get a job in your dream industry.
